Two Japanese recalls
Both new recalls for Japanese makes were found in the German KBA database this week. Honda is recalling 427,382 hybrid variants of the CR-Vs manufactured between 2018 and 2022 to authorized service centers worldwide. The reason for the recall is a missing fuse on the battery cable, which could lead to a fire in the event of an accident. Suzuki is recalling 21,353 Jimny vehicles produced between 2018 and 2019. The fuel pump impeller can become deformed and blocked, which would stop the fuel supply and cause engine failure.
Stellantis vans with 4×4 drive
A faulty seal can cause the front gearbox to leak oil, which can lead to gearbox failure and rear wheel lockup. Citroen Berlingo, Opel Combo, Peugeot Partner and Toyota Proace City all-wheel drive vans from 2019-2021 may be affected.
